You know what the Rosh Hashanah celebrations are missing? Gourmet popcorn. It’s obvious now I’ve said it, right? I lay awake in bed the other night imagining how delicious this apple and honey popcorn would be, and figuring out how to make it, and I couldn’t believe I hadn’t done it …

First, let me show you how cute these easy-to-make little apple and honey cake pops really are. Adorable! These were super easy to make, and are really a variation on my cheat’s truffle cake pops, which I made for Pesach a couple of years ago. For Rosh Hashanah, I used a …

Lokshen kugel is an extremely traditional Ashkenazi Jewish food, and it appeared on my family’s Shabbat table almost every week when I was a child. In essence, it is a sweet pudding made with noodles – lokshen in Yiddish – and it can also contain dried fruit, spice, and even a creamy …

Kipper is a bit obsessed with quinces. I think there was one in an alphabet book once – let’s face it, there’s not a great deal of choice when it comes to ‘Q’ words. We even watched this video on YouTube to learn all about quinces and medlars. That probably …

We have vegan friends joining us for dinner on Rosh Hashanah, so I was trying to come up with something vaguely interesting for dessert instead of the inevitable fruit salad and “sorry this has got eggs/cream in it.” I was musing on the possibilities afforded by pomegranates and apples, both …

I think I’ve mentioned before how much I love Nadine Abensur’s book The Cranks Bible. It is full of gloriously delicious vegetarian recipes, and has never let me down. There is a recipe in there for a delicious coconut cake, which is topped with poached mango and passionfruit and drenched in …

I’ve made this cupcake recipe dozens, maybe even hundreds of times. It’s completely fool-proof. Or so I thought. I usually make the cupcakes in little paper cupcake cases, but this time, I thought I’d try out my new fancy-shmancy heart-shaped silicon cake moulds (courtesy of the John Lewis clearance). Well, …
